Chosen by The Millions and Flavorwire as one of the most-anticipated books of 2016.
The very short stories of Diane Williams have been aptly called folk tales that hammer like a nail gun, and these 40 new ones are sharper than ever.
They are unsettling, yes, frequently revelatory, and more often than not downright funny.
Not a single moment here is what you might expect.
While there is immense pleasure to be found in Williams s spot-on observations about how we behave in our highest and lowest moments, the heart of the drama beats in the language of American short fiction s grand master, whose originality, precision, and power bring the familiar into startling and enchanted relief.
